Re: e-brake

I used 1977 style Eldorado rear calipers. Have the ebrake built into them. They are very big calipers (for stock) they are the same size as the 3/4- 1 ton front truck calipers and will actually interchange with the Eldo's but no ebrake.
I would like to find an updated system with 4 or more piston calipers and larger disc's for a 8 lug. Mainly for the "cool" factor as my brakes work well now.

I was going to use Chevy's, but looked a some ford's just to see what they looked like and they actually have more offset and worked better. Mine are off a 79 ford, fronts with 4x4.
I have the corporate rear axle The size ring gear escapes me right now. I think 10.5"
